the library annex

once upon a time a boy and a girl fell in love, bought an 80 year old farmhouse style home with 3 bedrooms/3 baths, and got married.   6 years ago one bedroom was converted into a nursery for a little boy.  the four shelves, which used to hold the girl's sweaters, now held books and stuffies.

over the years the boy and girl added to the library, buying books during travels, to commemorate special days and holidays, and books that used to belong to the boy and girl when they were little themselves.  the library grew and grew.

then one day the little boy who slept in the nursery moved to the other spare room.  the nursery was now filled with two tiny twins, a boy and a girl.  the little boy started school, and his mom bought him more books through the scholastic book clubs, and the library grew some more.

one day the girl got fed up at the hodgepodge of books.  that and the fact that she couldn't find "where the wild things are".

so while the twins played in their crib, the girl cleaned off each shelf and sorted books.

the girl found her favorite books from when she was little...

the books of the boy she loved...

after a few hours of hard work, the book shelves looked like this:

and a few additions of favorite stuffies...

finished.
